The 3D catalog: game boxes on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

The catalog in 3D

The same catalog has a room you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real games from it when you tell them what you feel like playing. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this game is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

What players say

Players describe Abyss of Neptune as a decent free horror game lasting about two to three hours, but they are split on the controls: some find them awful and the movement clunky, while others say critics just need to learn the mechanics. Multiple reviews mention the game is not maintained and has unfixed bugs, reminding some of Bioshock and Soma.
